BaaleOko:
Atiku has never been a popular figure in the Nigeria as far as politics is concerned, much less the North where he's just another regular rich guy with no clout. Compared to Buhari who is a demi god up north, Atiku stood absolutely no chance. PDP's biggest miscalculation was fielding Atiku as it's presidential candidate. Someone like Tambuwal would have been a far better asset in destroying or considerably reducing Buhari's invincibility up North... I guess PDP will bounce back stronger in 2023 cause Buhari whos probably the only reckoning force for APC... will not be there anymore.

Even though Tambuwal has a better image in the North, he still wouldn't have won Buhari there. Is it Borno and Yobe that would have voted Tambuwal? PDP only managed to win Adamawa cos it's Atiku's home state. No other Northern politician would have won there.

simpleseyi:

We have started work on how to stop this nonsense here also. Just watch out.

You guys said exactly the same thing after 2015

I think every state need a Tinubu compared to Saraki.Tinubu has successfully made lagos the best and most developed state in Nigeria
Pdp is one evil party that must not allowed in any state

Tinubu didn't make Lagos the most developed state. You guys should stop spilling that crap. By virtue of it's location and the position it occupied as the federal capital territory for several decades, Lagos simply has the infrastructure to be the greatest irrespective of who is in charge. 30 years ago, Abuja was a complete Bush. Today, it has overtaken most states in terms of economy. Assuming FCT is made a state in the future, and gets to have a kingmaker like Tinubu, somebody will start praising him for making Abuja what it is.

dipopooo:
PDP and their IPOD supporters would be taught a serious lesson.... IPOD always support evil.... I wonder why a reasonable Nigerian would vote for Atiku.... I don't get!

The Oyo and Ondo people that massively voted for PDP are also IPOD, abi? You guys should keep deceiving yourselves.

lqqtsdsd:
Good

Why are you doing this, why? Why do you keep creating new accounts and spamming all threads with this?

modath:
It's standing ranking senator rule..... Is it constitutional? Did Ekwerwmadu not emerge ? Just thinking aloud if it could be amended....

I doubt OUK or Rochas won't gun for it.

The first timer issue is the reason why Francis Alimikhena of Edo North wasn't given a chance in 2015. He was the only senator representing APC in the SE/SS at the start of the 8th Assembly.

modath:
The likes and shares nor reach grassroot..

Who go take SP between Rochas & OUK?

As experienced as you are, you don't know first timers don't get to become SP?

My respect for Yorubas is increasing now. I sincerely pray that God will make Igbos and Yorubas forget their differences and agree. That will be the best thing that will happen to Nigeria. I won't even mind if Yorubas will keep ruling, so long as we are united in one heart and mind.

Buharifanatic:
did i lie? you and i know that not all yoruba's are ritualist, infact most of the legendary ritualist are from the east but that one no be the gist now, 99% of things produced in the east are 20 levels below the worst similar Chinese product


no be una dey put rubber slippers inside shoe again? abi u done forget?


no be una dey use indomie carton do book hardcover?

I really don't have the strength for an irritating bigot like you. Enjoy!

Buharifanatic:
let me ask you


is it because they are allergic to poverty, that they make fake products?

people have died, taking poison thinking its drugs not knowing that its semolina


dont get me started on how industrious they are, its a big myth, the bulk of them sell and make fake things

while the rest are traders in lagos and around the west

Just like the bulk of Yorubas are ritualists, right?
Don't you guys get tired of this stereotyping?

dotunbidemi:
point of correction he lost at his work place. while Atiku lost in his home, his father's house....

Atiku's PU is in Yola. That's not his hometown. It's equally his residence just like Aso Rock is Buhari's residence.

Hotfreeze:
Keep insulting northerners.

It is Igbos that ruined Atiku. They insulted his support base and chased away those who could give him votes.

You guys will always attack Igbos for nothing. Right before the campaigns began, APC guys had been resounding it everywhere that Buhari is a god in the North and no human being can beat him there. How come it's now Igbos that made Atiku lose in the North?

raumdeuter:
Lets go there

Zamfara done. Next is Rivers

Which Rivers? The case has been settled by the Supreme Court.

TIGRITIS:
Hmmm.

That is the irony in the life of a typical pig.

Pigs will not stop making reference to how US is light-years ahead of Nigeria.

Tell them to behave like the Americans, they insult you down to your forefathers.

They will tell you US is a sane country, yet some of them who stepped foot in that US end up in jail for being more stupid than goats.

Now, the punishment for ballot snatching in US is death, but in Nigeria, pigs call it tyrany.

According to pigs, a ballot box snatcher is entitled to all expenses paid trip vacation anywhere in the universe.

Shameless hypocrite!

Return wetin bring out another money.

I'm tired of Nigeria, must everything be about bribery?

You would have been foaming in your mouth now if it was a PDP government.

ajericho:
you mean the roads he's constructing?or the rail way that was abandoned for 16 years?and its up and working under pmb?,Atiku is a no no for us,


But seriously guy,why is your hope high in atiku
Make we yarn like matured grown ups

Oga, shut it!
The railway revolution was started by PDP government. Obasanjo was the first to repair the narrow gauge between Lagos and Kano and PH to (I think) Makurdi or beyond. Jonathan signed and constructed Abuja to Kaduna standard gauge. The tracks had been fully laid, and all FG counterpart funding were fully paid before Buhari took over. Same for Abuja metro rail. All Buhari has done is to construct Lagos to Ibadan standard gauge (and it's even only the Lagos to Abeokuta portion that is ready now). Let me also remind you that PDP government signed that contract.
Every government has been constructing roads, so no big deal. Jonathan for example dualised and repaired Abuja to Lokoja and Ore to Benin expressways respectively.

ajericho:
we weren't,your devilish party handed the nation broken to pmb

Same way your PMB has succeeded in destroying whatever little that remained from what he was handed over.
Buhari...? NEVER AGAIN!!!

ajericho:
that's because the pdp brainwash people online with their stupid lies,and proving innocence like they ain't the one that crippled Nigeria, anyways thats the internet,but for real,people vote for next nevel

The same way APC brainwashed people in 2015 which led to these results on Nairaland

online poll

You're laughing, but I only need to remind you that Buhari won similar online polls about this time in 2015. Even on Nairaland, he beat Jonathan blue and black severally.

Fruitless meeting somebody should tell the established thief from kameroun to stop wasting his time and energy, we Nigerians are with Baba Buhari.

Enlightened Nigerians (on Nairaland, Twitter, all social media platforms) are massively clamouring for Atiku. This is why Atiku has been winning all online polls with a very wide margin. Only the illiterates (who don't have Internet connection) support Buhari.

ProfEinstein:
OMG
Can't believe this happened in my own Dengram, Hope they have not mismanaged that college.
May the fame of our college never fade
Lux Fiat!!!
God rest your soul young chap

Lux Fiat bro.
I'm just so sad now. It happened in my beloved Dengram, on my birthday.
May the soul of the little boy rest in peace, and may the perpetrator(s) be severely dealt with.

mknigeriagreat:
The PMB is too handicapped by policies and rules and it is slowing us down as a nation. I want GMB under this democracy umbrella. A PMB wouldnt have done anything to a lying and corrupt CJN but a GMB did and i am happy. We are just a special breed in this country even jaimacans are learning from us. Kilode self? Our own too much as the masses.

And what happens after 2023 when there CANNOT be a GMB to preside over the affairs of Nigeria again, assuming he wins this year? I hope the Osinbajo whom you guys are expecting to take over from him will also be made a military general, or perhaps Nigeria will return to military rule "the same way western nations where things work all have military administrations, cos democracy doesn't work".
You APC guys are simply pathetic!

seunmsg:
PDP complained about Amina Zakari and she was removed from operations and logistics and later removed as head of collation center management committee all in the interest of ensuring credible elections . Mike Igini should also be redeployed in the interest of ensuring credible elections in Akwa Ibom State. A partisan REC is inimical to credible elections in any state.

PDP's complaints regarding Amina Zakari were not mere conjectures. They were founded. APC's complaints in Akwa Ibom are unfounded allegations. To prove it, it will take a couple of days or weeks after which elections would have ended.
If you want to remove the REC just because of unfounded allegations like this, what will happen when you hear such from other parties in 20 different states by tomorrow?
Moreover, it's already too late for such an alteration to be made. Just the same way removal of INEC Chairman was frowned upon most people including the international community.

Tenny93:
He said “I was in that meeting; the president was just reinforcing the fact that if you are out there snatching ballot boxes, and causing destructions, you are at risk of your own life. Whatever happens to you; no president will give an order that his own citizens should be shot summarily, No! No, its okay, emotions are running high these days. Any individual including myself can be misinterpreted.

“These are not his words; he is a law abiding person and he understands categorically and clearly what rule of law is and the lives of individual citizens that he is in that office to protect. Now, let me run this; he has been fighting Book Haram, kidnappers and all these before this election, did you hear him asking them to be shot and executed summarily?”

http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-didnt-order-nigerians-to-be-shot-summarily-tinubu/amp/

Tinubu, who has been giving orders for the mass murder of shiites since 2015? In case you tell me it's Buratai, how come Buhari hasn't removed him for that gross abuse of power and waste of human lives?
You all are hypocrites!

Daboomb:
You are just clever by half!
- If you vote Atiku, he too will want to spend 7yrs,,like GEJ who agreed only one term but changed his mind in 2015. That means the Northerners will be there for 12 yrs. Bad idea.
- If you vote Atiku, Obj, an Easterner who is his vice, will want to contest for President, even after Atiku and same Obi has spent 12yrs there! That means nothing for the Yorubas for the next 16yrs, till 2035! Very baddest idea.

But a vote for APC means the Yorubas can try their luck at the presidency in 4yrs time. You see why Atiku is POISON for the South West, not to mention his status as a CONFIRMED THIEF?

If Buhari is voted out, it means 2 sitting presidents have already be voted out in Nigeria. Subsequent presidents will know 2nd term isn't guaranteed anymore. Atiku will either sit up or get ready to be voted out by 2023. If he sits up and performs well, why shouldn't he be reelected? Is your concern about having a Yoruba president or a president that will work in the interest of Nigeria?

Is there any problem if Obi spends 12 years as both VP and President? Many Yorubas on this forum are already saying that Osinbajo will take over from Buhari by 2023 and hand over to a northerner (possibly El-Rufai) by 2031. Won't that make it 16 years of Osinbajo in power?

The second point of yours which I highlighted is an extremely selfish point of view. Yorubas have had 8 years in presidency and 4 years in vice presidency out of 20 years of our democracy. Igbos have had none, yet you still don't think that in the spirit of fairness, Igbos should be allowed? Mind you, based on population, Igbos are nearly as populous as Yorubas in Nigeria.

desiredhome:
Some funny people in this country called Nigeria, so the number of people that are dying everyday due to poor health care, bad roads, no electricity, no good education despite all the money that this country has?
The same people that has stolen this country dry?
Who then is more of murderer?
Corruption is even worst, I can see that a lot of Africans are so blind that you think they are under a course? A black man with dark mind/Dark continent.

Are there not other vibrant/younger contestants out there? they busy insulting themselves over two old men who has nothing to offer and will still be complaining afterall.
WHO DID THIS TO US?
The same old politicians that have been ruling us since kembe

In a Republic of Southern Nigeria, Biafra, Oduduwa etc, you can have those young and smart guys as president cos you're going to have more rational voters. With Northern Nigeria in the mix, it is extremely difficult to achieve that. What they look for in leadership is far different from what southerners look for.
As far as 2019 is concerned, a northerner must win the election, cos according to an unwritten rule, the north must complete their 8 years. The Northern voters cannot vote any other person who isn't a northerner. That's a fact. So if smart southerners like you (I believe you're from the South) waste your votes on those candidates that can't even win their wards, you've ended up giving Buhari the opportunity to continue for another 4 years.
The question now is, between the 2 prominent Northern candidates, who are you more comfortable with?
By 2023, the South will have a chance to produce the next president of Nigeria. All these young guys contesting now will stand a better chance then. My opinion is that Buhari be voted out now and replaced with Atiku just for the next 4 years. By 2023, Atiku also will be voted out and replaced with a 'proper' president that will work in the interest of Nigerians.

Larryndelaw:
So he agreed that Atiku is THIEF. Wonderful

Yes, and he also confirmed Buhari is a murderer. A thief is better than a murderer.

Is Gbenga a Christian?

Foolish post.
Election didn't hold and card readers were sending results to INEC. So the riggers didn't know elections were postponed or what?
How stupid can some people be with their falsehood.

Bighead9:
Cry me a River.
Goodluck Jonathan postponed the 2015 election for 3 weeks, heaven did not fall. INEC chooses to postpone the election this time around and Nigerians support this move.

Why did they have to postpone it just a few hours to the start of voting? Why couldn't they do that one week away, before people travelled for the elections and before sensitive materials were distributed?
